Gordon Strachan has announced his 26-man squad to play against Northern Ireland and Gibraltar at Hampden Park next week.

There is a first senior call-up for Matt Ritchie who has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances for English Championship side Bournemouth this season. Ritchie qualifies through his Scottish father who is from Edinburgh.

Striker Jordan Rhodes returns to the squad after scoring six goals in his last seven games for Blackburn Rovers.

In goals, Allan McGregor is back after recovering from injury while Aberdeen defender Mark Reynolds is also back in the squad and looking to earn his first cap for the senior side.
